TransitOttawa discussing light rail on Rogers Talk Ottawa tonight

Any transit enthusiasts in the Ottawa area might want to tune in to Rogers cable 22 tonight at 7 p.m. for Talk Ottawa, where the panel will discuss public transit in the city. On the table are discussions about the city's upcoming light-rail transit plan, the $600M in recently-announced federal funding for it, and whether or not it's affordable overall.

On the panel will be Peter Raaymakers, executive director of TransitOttawa.com and Rideau-Rockcliffe Councillor Jacques Legendre. Ottawa-West Nepean MP and Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities John Baird will also join by telephone.
